MASK MANDATE

As you are aware, a new mask mandate for children over two has been issued by the state. We are aware of different levels and abilities of children and we will be sensitive to that issue. If you are a parent or guardian of a student and would like to voice your concern or satisfaction regarding the new mandate, the Office of Children and Family services encourages families to email them at info@ocfs.ny.gov

CAR SHOW

We'd like to thank Lisa Angelo, 215 Long Island Mopar, RLM Sign Group, as well as all of our sponsors, volunteers and donors for making our first American Muscle Car Show a resounding success. We hope those of you that came as spectators had a great time!
